Thanks for asking !! The big duffel bag is out and awaiting its annual stuffing. Masks and snorkels are at the ready, the sunscreen and other emollients are being inventoried. Only 16 more sleeps . . .it's wearing on me.

As to Neighbor Dave, temporary insanity is a way of life so he's quite comfortable with the anticipation. But no matter how many pictures I e-mail to him, he still has no idea what awaits!

When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.
